Hello,
the "Range" or "If-Range" headers are used to request a part of an object from a web server. An object can be a file (web page, image file, program etc) or a responce from a script running on the web server. Download managers (such as Getright) can use these headers to download the part of the file that is missing in case the download is interrupted. If you permit http ranges and you are using HTTP resources with CVP, the CVP server will not be able to inspect the (part of the) file your are downloading, since it will not be complete.

Hi experts,
We are having some problems to connect to a web server from the internet. The message in the log says:
Action: Reject reason: Web security: range request blocked. HTTP Request containing a `Range: or `If-Range: header (used by download managers like `GetrightÂ) are blocked. To allow, set the `http_allow_ranges property to `trueÂ.
My question is, if I set the http_allow_ranges to true, what kind of risks I could be facing? Thanks,
mÃnica
